About Us

Pennsylvania's Telecommunication Device Distribution Program (TDDP) provides free specialized equipment to eligible Pennsylvanians who have disabilities which prevent them from using regular telephone equipment.  Created in 1995 as a result of Act 34, the TDDP is implemented by Pennsylvania's Initiative on Assistive Technology (PIAT), a program of the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University, in conjunction with the PA Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) and the PA Public Utility Commission (PUC).
